The turning of the years

Where does time go? This is the chestnut tree I posted at the start of lockdown with its sticky buds just opening up in the spring sun. Now all the leaves are gone, the conkers are on the ground and already the sticky buds are ready and waiting for next spring. It was a bright blustery day once the earlier rain cleared, so I enjoyed a walk that took in two golf courses - feeling slightly sorry for the golfers being excluded for lockdown.
